203 DAILY FINAL FRIDAY MORNING, OCTOBER 29, 1954 JV ER fPm) wrap o) CONFUSION REPUBLICANS State Officials Hit rv xYi In Girl Delinquency, SLUGGING In Holdup Listed Can Be Avoided, in uiiio waning, For Ike Will Descend At Cleveland Field President Asserts In Talk At Capital As Three Burglaries Also Are Explained Wedding In Indiana Indiana officials who aided in the marriage ot a 14-year-old girl drew the wrath yesterday of Charles S. Bell in Common Pleas Court. "If possible those officials in Indiana who run a marriage mart should be here on trial," he declared. The remarks were made at the conclusion of the trial of Kenneth Springman, 58, Monfort Heights trailer salesman, who was accused of tending to cause delinquency of the girl by permitting her and a 19-year-old youth she married the next day to stay overnight in his trailer home on W. Fork Road.

Judge Bell said the evidence failed to show that Springman had any criminal intent, needed to sustain the charge against him. However, the court allowed Calvin W. Prem, assistant prosecutor, a week in whicn to find authority in the law books to show why Springman should not be freed Springman was named in a complaint filed by the girl's father, a resident of Mt. Airy, who alleged that his daughter stayed at Springrnan's trailer the night of August 22. Testimony showed the young lovers went to Law-renceburg on the afternoon of August 23 to get ried but arrived at the Gretna Green too late.

S. Martin, attorney for Springman, said they were told by a marriage "tout" who took them to the office of a justice of the peace to return the next day, whicn they did after the man said to be the "tout" told the girl to falsify her age as 18. On the day following the stay at the trailer the couple rode with Springman and another man to Lawrenccburg and were married. They returned to the trailer for a three-day honeymoon. The girl and the youth, now estranged becaust? of a pending annulment suit, both told Judge Bell they are in love and would be together if permitted to be.

Springman, a friend of the youth, said he permitted their stay when they told him of their frustrated elopement because of the lateness of the hour and of their intentions to be married the next daj. Urges Silent "Fiddle" In Politics If World Is To Be Burned WASHINGTON, Oct 28 (AP) President Eisenhower appealed tonight for election of another Republican Congress to "keep our government from political fiddling while the world burns" and from winding up "in a hopeless jam." "Confusion can be avoided and steady progress assured only by electing a Republican majority to the Congress," President Eisenhower declared In a speech prepared for delivery before a dinner sponsored by the National Citizens for Eisenhower Congressional Committee. The committee is an organization of independent voters and dissident Democrats political elements which contributed to the President's 1952 victory. The President, battling hard for a GOP victory in next Tuesday's congressional 1 c-tions, told a nationwide television and radio audience: AUTO'S TOP SHEARED OFF IN FATAL WRECK The top of this traffic victim's automobile, outlined in white in the photograph, was sheared off when it skidded beneath an approaching tractor-trailer after knocking off the trailer's wheels. The accident happened on U.

S. 52, between Miamitown and Harrison, on slippery Blue Jay Hill. When the picture was snapped, the victim, Dewitt F. Capehart, 38, 4157 Linden Deer Park, was lying crushed and dying in the front seat of his car. ENGINEER (Text On, Page 1,2) L.

CLEVELAND, Oct. 28 Ohio politics held its breath here tonight, waiting for tomorrow and the words that Dwight D. Eisenhower will drop at Cleveland Airport.

The force oLthe language rray determine which way the cat will jump next Tuesday. They were all here Governor Lausche and State Auditor James A. Rhodes, running for governor; Sen. Thomas A. Burke and Hep.

George Bender, running for senator, and Sen. John W. Bricker, who is not running but will be on hand to make, it official. Ray C. Bliss, Republican state chairman, flew in from Columbus to be in charge of arrangements.

Eugene Hanhart, his Democratic counterpart, was down the hall in the same hotel, enviously idle. Motels were filling up with congressional candidates. TO VISIT FOTB CITIKS The President is to arrive at 9 m. tomorrow, his first stop on a trip that will take him to four cities. Cleveland, Detroit, Louisville and Wilmington, Del.

Democrats call it a trip of desperation, President Elsenhower spoke of It in a telegram to Mr. Bliss as an effort to "get out the vote." The President's plane, the Columbine, will be on the field for an hour. Fifteen or 20 minutes of that time will be used by the President for a talk to the crowd. This meeting is described as essentially one for Republican workers, and notices went to 15,000 of them in Cuva-hoga County to be on hand. Mr.

Bender, Senator Bricker and all Republican candidates for Congress who can make it to Cleveland will attend this conference. LAUSCHE HAS WELCOME "I want to extend the welcome to him in Ohio, and 1 am certain that the people of the state join me in doing that." Governor Lausche told an 11-station television audience tonight. "Personally, I would like to be present tomorrow and welcome him, not only because he is the President, but because of the high respect in which I hold him." Mr. Bender, chief intended beneficiary of this trip, wore the widest grin in Cleveland today. "We are honored, of course, to have the President visit our state," said Senator Burke, who can keep a straight face under all circumstances.

"I must say again, however," he continued, "that Ike is not a candidate for United States Senator, although thousands of Ohio Republicans wish he were. "I don't know what he plans to say. If he discusses my opponent I would hope that he would mention the number of times of that I myself have supported his program." Actually, it was an uneasy silence that lay over the Democrats they admitted privately they believed that if the President merely wished "good luck, George" a paraphrase, incidentally of words Governor Lausche has used toward Senator Burke it won't hurt much. If he asks flatly for the election of George H. Bender, the Democrats say it may be very painful indeed.

FATAMTIIS TO ATI 1954 1953 ator of one of the nation's most powerful radio stations ended last night with the death of L. B. Wilson. Mr. Wilson, president and general man-acer of B.

Zoo Love Affair Is Blighted When Owner Recognizes Stolen Pet On TV BALTIMORE, Oct. 28 (AP) "Kinky," a romantic Latin American kinkajou, appeared likely to lose his newly found girl friend at the Baltimore Zoo today.

You could blame liquor and television for his heartbreak. Arthur Watson, Zoo director, says Kinky lor years "has longed for a mate," Mr. Watson thinks the whole thing is a darn shame. It all began early last Sunday morning real early. An excited lady called the Zoo.

She said her husband and a sailor friend had been out on a little spree and there was a strange animal in the cellar making screeching noises. Frank Groves and Art Moore of the Zoo staff ere dispatched to the scene. What they found was a female kinkajou, a South American member of the raccoon family. She was a cute little trick. Just the gal for Kinky.

The lady had no hesitation about signing a gift card turning the kinkajou over to the Zoo. Mr. Watson was delighted. So later that evening he introduced the new addition to the Zoo over his television program. He told viewers the new kinkajou would make "an excellent mate" for Kinky.

But It seems an Essex, tavern owner named Lawrence Shue was watching the program. He recognized the kinkajou as his own pet. Somebody, Mr. Shue decided was guilty of "kinkajou-napping." Mr. Shue went to the Zoo yesterday and identitied his pet.

He looked at the gift card and recognized the name and address the donor. The tavern owner vowed he'd swear out a warrant and was told to go to the Baltimore County police station at Essex. Officers there said today that no warrant had yet been issued. But at the Zoo. Mr.

Watson was mighty disappointed. Kinky and the little lady had been "getting along tine," he sighed. There whs one bright spot, however. Park police told Mr. Watson they would keep the kinkajou temporarily in case it should be needed as "evidence." "If we hold her for evidence much longer, we just might have a family of kinkajou anyway," said Mr.

Watson. and later became president of the People's National Bank. It was in 1929 that Mr. Wilson began his venture in radio. Since that time his name has been synonymous with the call letters of his station, "WCKY, the L.

B. Wilson Station." It was fitting that Mr. Wilson should become one of the best known radio executives in the land. Since early youth he had shown an interest in the world yf entertainment. As a young man, he and a brother, Hansford, teamed up to perform as vaudeville dancers.

They toured Europe together and were widely known. The brother, "Hans," is retired from the entertainment business now and lives In New York. His wife was a leading player with the old National Players, Cincinnati stock company. Mrs. Wilson is now visiting in Rome, Italy.

Friends last night referred to his generosity "a friend of the newsboy on the corner and a financial wizard." Mr. Wilson, himself short in stature, "loved little people" Mr. Wilson started his radio station in Covington, later bringing the transmitter to Cincinnati. The high respect held for Mr. Wilson by his employees was pointed out last night.

"They'll miss him. He was a real boss," it was remarked.

"So the Job is to get the voters to the polls. Thus we will keep our government from political fiddling while the world burns. Thus we ran go ahead, in this age of peril, building a stronger, better America and lasting peace In the world." The President declared: "For the good of America, our governmental traffic must be efficiently handled. We won't get anywhere with red lights at all governmental cross roads.

Envisioning the situation with Democrats as chairmen of the 3-odd congressional commit tees, Mr.

Eisenhower said: "When pressures of party loyally and obligations influence legislative leaders and committee chairmen to oppose the President, there are many things they can do. History shows that both parties have indulged In these obstructionist practices, at grave risk to our country's good." CITES LEADERS' POWERS Legislative leaders Mr. Eisenhower went on, "Can stop essential bills in the legislative committees, in the rules committee or kill them in the Senate or the House of Representatives." He added: "They can put political amendments on good laws to force the President to veto the whole or to accept the amendment to get the good law. "For political reasons, they can bottle up program after program to keep the President from doing something that the people want. "This Is no exaggeration.

Neither Is it an accusation. It Is simply the way politics had often been played In Washington. One Republican and two Democratic Presidents have, In this generation, testified to the stagnation, frustration and political feuds that result when one party controls the Congress, the other the executive branch." of traffic injuries in Hamilton County this year.

28-The Communists will be committing a "flagrant violation" of the Indochina armistice agreement if they force the United States to close Its consulate in Hanoi, In North Vietnam, the State Department said today. Following his issuance of that statement, Henry Suydam, State Department press officer, was asked whether the United States had been told to get out of Hanoi. "At pmmcnt, no," he replied. The State Department press officer said he had been asked a number of questions about the situation" in Hanoi. He offered this statement in reply: "I would like to call attention to the final declaration, dated 21 July, 1954, of the Ge-neva Conference on restoring peace in Indochina," Mr.

Suydam then quoted paragraph six of the declaration stating the conference recognized that "the essential purpose of the agreement relating to Vietnam is to settle military questions with a view to ending hostilities and that the military demarcation line should not in any way be interpreted as constituting a political or territorial boundary." "That Is the basis on which we are maintaining the United States consulate at Hanoi," he continued. "It is obvious that we cannot maintain it if the military regime in North A'iet-nam forces us out. If we are forced out, this will be in flagrant violation of the Geneva agreements." Mr. Suydam said he was not free to discuss "details of communication" from Vietnam.
